Kid!Peter, Uncle Thor, Uncle Loki

Am I the only one who wants Avengers 4 to begin with a Loki monologue similar to Thor’s at the start of Thor: Ragnarok?

I know what you’re thinking: “Oh, no. Loki’s dead. How did this happen?” Well, sometimes you have to get ‘killed’ just to get a straight answer out of something. It’s a long story. Basically, I’m a bit of a trickster. 

the whole “mermaids are all colourful and friendly and wear seashells as clothes and collect sparkly things and sing to the fish” is definitely appealing, 10/10, but let’s be realistic for a sec.

the ocean is scary as shit.

as humans, we have only explored about 5% of the ocean. meaning, we have seen very, very little of what lives in the ocean.

in that mere 5% we know about, while we have found some awesome stuff (coral reefs, starfish, dolphins, fish that glow!!!), we have found some absolute fucking monsters. huge sharks, giant squids, eels, some pretty freaky fish, the list goes on.

so, let’s be realistic.

you’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that all mermaids are dainty little figures with brightly coloured tails, long, flowing hair, big blue eyes and perfect white teeth? no. way.

show me the mermaids that live in the deepest parts of the ocean, of places man has never, and will never, get to. show me mermaids who hunt in packs, who don’t sing, but rather shrill and screech, or are so silent that you don’t notice them until it’s too late. show me the mermaids with grey, silver, multicolour, scaly skin and eyes that glow yellow in the dark and teeth that make great whites look friendly. show me the mermaids with coral and plankton and barnacles growing on their skin, with kelp in their hair.

give me mermaids who can camouflage into their enviorment, who can shoot ink, who can electrocute unsuspecting prey. give me giant mermaids with tails like eels or like jellyfish or like sharks, that will kill anything they see, that can cause tsunamis with a wave of their hands. give me mermaids who are ripped, with no hair, with fangs. give me mermaids with armour similar to crabs, with flesh harder than rock, with nails like talons. give me mermaids that have hidden themselves away from man in the furthest reaches of the depths, who have slowly evolved to look more monster than girl.

bring me the mermaids that no one wants to acknowledge, the ones that fuel nightmares and folk tales and urban legends.

bring me the diversity, the reality, of the ocean into mermaids.

autistic fitzsimmons headcanons

jemma walks on her tiptoes when she’s excited or nervous 

fitz likes animals in part because it’s much easier to understand their behavior than other people 

jemma used to go nonverbal as a child whenever she was in an emotional situation. she learned bsl to use with her family whenever she did. she doesn’t go nonverbal much anymore, but still finds it easier to think in sign when she does 

fitz is a restrictive eater and it’s hard to get him to eat anything healthy or with a “grown up” taste. he’s branched out a little, but only if jemma makes it 

jemma finds it easy and comforting to memorize movie scripts. she has favorites that she watches over and over and recites the whole thing 

fitz has never understood gender very well and identifies as male because that’s the easiest option, not because he has much attachment to it 

jemma was hyperlexic as a child and could read children’s chapter books at age 4 

fitz finds it hard to process long verbal instructions and likes things written down 

jemma has a special interest in astronomy 

they’re both very sensitive to medications and have to take like half the recommended dose of anything 

jemma prides herself on her people skills, but it’s exhausting and still performative 

fitz finds pressure very calming and loves when people lay on top of him 

jemma used to stim more openly as a kid but the other children would make fun of her, so she developed covert stims like rubbing her thumbs over her fingers or pressing her neck. after she realizes she’s autistic she starts to stim more openly again and even tries to copy some of fitz’s to see how they feel 

fitz has to try REALLY HARD not to cover his ears at loud noises 

they both have comfort objects. fitz has a monkey stuffed animal his mom got him as a kid, and jemma has a knitted blanket her grandmother made her 

feel free to add more!! 

Hey, so, this might be an unpopular opinion, but no matter how bad the police are, anyway: Reform, not abolish.

A lot of people on Tumblr are talking about how awful the police are right now, and I'm not saying that no change needs to happen, but I recently saw a post outright calling to abolish the police force, and, well... That'd be a disaster. Guess who investigates when somebody's house is broken into? When somebody's pet is stolen, or somebody is kidnapped, or hell, in most cases, when somebody is hurt or killed? The police.

There definitely needs to be change. We need to change the way that police are trained all over the world, we need to fire all current police officers. But that's just to make way for a new era. And to prove it, I have a little ancedote for you all.

About a year ago, I (A 15 year old girl) was sexually abused and exploited by an older man online. I was 14 when I was coerced into sending nudes and doing sexual roleplay with this man for three months, and I had been groomed for two years prior. This man had a feeder/feedee kink, and my health still suffers for my unhealthy attitude towards food. I am hypersexual. June 22, 2020 is my one-year anniversary of getting out. Why am I telling you this?

Because the police helped.

They did what they could to find this pervert. They couldn't manage it, since he was in the USA and I live in the UK, but not for lack of trying. If there had been no police force to do that, I would be much further back in my recovery.

Granted, I might not fully understand. I am white. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either (Well, my family is, anyway). I fully support the people protesting for their rights. I acknowledge that the police force needs to change. I acknowledge that police brutality exists. That the minorities that the police are abusing deserve better. But the way that people talk about the police, the military, and 'Bootlickers' really makes me nervous sometimes. We need a police force, in some capacity. Not the one we currently have, but something. So please: Call for reform, not abolishment.

Thanks.

DON’T GO OUT on the 3rd of April. My non Muslim friends, please reblog this, one of your followers could benefit from it.

Trait labels

I made a list of autistic slang terms that included a few alternatives to functioning labels. I call them trait labels. Here’s an updated version of that list:

Ninja- nonverbal (because ninjas are silent)

Camo - able to pass as NS (camo is short for camouflage)

Dragon - one who hordes collects items relating to a special interest

Timekeeper - one with a low IQ (the timekeepers of Ancient Egypt are believed to have been autistic, and while they were severely handicapped in other areas, they were able to maintain the most accurate calendar in the world of that time period)

Echo - one who primarily communicates through echolalia

Turtle - asocial (because a turtle can withdraw into its shell)

These terms can be combined to describe multiple Autistic traits one has. For example, a nonverbal autistic person who is very introverted and asocial is called a Ninja Turtle (yes, I adjusted the list in such a way that this combination would be possible 😝😝😝). To say that you don’t show a certain trait very often, you can add part time before a label. To throw in another grammar rule, make sure part time comes directly before the trait that isn’t very prevalent. For example, part time turtle ninja refers to someone who is only introverted and asocial at times but is always nonverbal, whereas a part time ninja turtle is someone who’s semiverbal and is always asocial.

I’m open to suggestions for more labels.

Autistic Amy Pond

The Doctor was her childhood special interest.

Had trouble making friends as a child, partially because she was so invested in her special interest and didn’t want to talk about much else. What friends she did have, including Rory, learned to indulge her in this.

Doesn’t like wasting time. Always wants to skip unnecessary questions, socially expected small talk, loitering around, or other time wasting activities and cut straight to the chase.

Not afraid to ask questions. Isn’t concerned over whether she seems ignorant or is annoying anyone by asking lots of questions.

Very straightforward and matter-of-fact in her speech and expression.

Not outwardly emotional. Uses jokes, sass, and sarcasm instead of displays of emotion and avoids potential emotional confrontations, specifically when this would involve confessing her own emotions to others.

Wears leggings and skinny jeans as a pressure stim, and bright colors and fun patterns as a visual stim (and also to look cute).
